The Circus - not quite what I remembered

So what do you think of when you anticipate the circus? Maybe....

Lions and tigers - trained by a man with a whip?

Tight rope walkers high over nets below?

Elephants doing tricks?

Trapzee People making the audience gasp with every swing?

Humans doing CRAZY stunts- muscleman, etc.?

Clowns and dogs... or something funny of the sort?

Ladies standing on horses going around the ring?

People shooting out of cannons? Especially if it is called Boom-A-Ling, right?

Am I crazy? We went to Barnum Bailey and Ringling Bros. - The Greatest Show on EARTH!

We went with Jack and his boys - Jack and Jakoby. Gabe loves his buddies. :)

Me with my little loves- Gav, Grant and Gabe and the TALL, Stilt man

My brother Andy and his son Lance also came! Seems impressive at the PRE-SHOW!!!

Grant on the Bike of the Stuntman - very cool. :)

Corey after visiting the clowns- and they gave out hats and noses to all! WAY COOL.

Gavin LOVING the clown get-up!

Gabe RIDICULOUSLY excited for circus.... YIPPEE!!!!!

The $8 frickin' dollar snowcones (yup- we bought 3) Ha, ha- when in Rome... Yup- so fun

And then the show starts... We are expecting something great. Radical.... BOOM-A-LING!!!

Some (3) horses run around the ring and some (2) camels run around the ring in each direction.

OK...

Here are the tightrope people. Not high, not the impressive. Hmmmm..... ;)

Hair swinging ladies, attached by their hair. Interesting.

After them came the cats... no, NOT LIONS, kitty cats and some unimpressive tricks.

**What the???? Are you freaking KIDDING? Kitties!!!!! Moving on.

Followed by a cannon of....... wait for it....... confetti!!! for the men jumping through hoops of fire. Cool, but not too much wow!

And the grand finale, 3 elephants doing some cool tricks. That was it folks. Fun, but not great. I truly think insurance/safety regulations has killed this circus. Probably don't waste your money, unless the tickets are FREE, or you are just too rich to care. :) Anywho, fun- but not great!

Still the kids didn't know any better- so it was great to them. Corey and I just kept laughing at how unimpressive it was due to the "OLD" circus. Kitties-- seriously... :)
